It was a mini-marathon so it was only 13.1 miles. I didn't run, but rather walked - which is good since my knee surgery and slow rehab (I was only able to walk stairs about 9 months ago).

Go you!

Oh yeah, my average time was 15.25 minutes per mile. You had to keep a pace above 18 minutes per mile or they made you drop out. 35000 people registered, but only a little over 29,000 people crossed the finish line.

If I'm defending myself, a brick anywhere will do. God, I'll even use a gun - I'm not a fighter, but if I can't run, my ethics take a huge hike!

I'm loving that green thing beside the "who's on line" thing.

I was wondering that too...he's been on a couple times, but didn't post anything.

Yeah, I think I've only seen one post in the past week or so....but then I'm not caught up either so I could be wrong! :shock:

How are things with you, K?

Wow - you have a great memory! I caught a cold a few days before the marathon, but I got rid of most of it by yesterday morning. I was still worried it (or my knee) would cause me problems, but I made it to the finish line and got my medal! It was great weather and I've already decided to do it again next year. I was sore afterwards of course, but I'm glad I did it. My average time was even better than I had been doing during my training walks.

That's awesome! Poor Kelly, it always seems like you've got the flu or something. :poor:

Calling all members from the Chicago area!

My family is coming to visit me here in Oregon this summer, but they are traveling via train and they have a really long layover in Chicago (I think they arrive about 9am and leave at 2pm). Since they are going to be around for so long, I figured they could get a taxi and head out to see something fun in the city for a few hours rather than sit at the station until they shoot themselves from boredom. However, I have no idea what to recommend to them. Any ideas?

My sister's family consists of: my sister, age 34, my brother-in-law, age 45, and my two neices ages 11 and 12. They will be in Chicago on June 20. My parents are coming on a different train...they will be in Chicago on June 19 (same time of day, same long layover) and they are in their mid-60s.

If anyone can think of anything at all for me to pass on to them, I would really appreciate it!

Oh man, there are a lot of different museums and what not. What are their interests? I personally love Shedds Aquarium. But their is the Museum of Science and Industry, the Field Museum, Sears Tower, Navy Pier, and many more.

I have been to a couple of those but havent been there for ages, so not sure how they are now. I went to the Brookfield Zoo and Shedd Aquariums with some friends last year, and I enjoyed both. But then again, I am an animal freak and you could drop me off at a farm for the day and I would be happy.

I remember seeing a couple people that live in Chicago or around, so hopefully they can give you a little more help.

I sent Edward a mental PM ages ago and I think he thinks I'm this enormous Edward eating maniac. So where NG walks, Edward fears to tread.

I could take that as intuitive or otherwise. Otherwise works for me, I am a bit nuts and I think Edward's not impressed. Live and let live - I might be a bit off-tap but I don't think I'm dangerous, .................. yet. :lol:

Any hoo, if you're OK with KW and you're afraid of me, I think you need some help ... definately not meant as a go at you Kyle, but I recon I'm pretty tame, that's all. :wink:
